Itron, PG&E expand collaboration on grid edge intelligence for wildfire mitigation in California
  • Itron entered a strategic collaboration with PG&E to deploy grid-edge intelligence aimed at reducing wildfire ignition risk in California.
  • Program validates fault prevention and fault location at scale using thousands of grid-edge sensing endpoints in high fire-risk areas.
  • First phase targets about 3,000 devices, with roughly 10,000 planned through 2027; PG&E targets hundreds of thousands by 2030.
  • Rollout begins in the Santa Cruz area, focusing on faster fault detection and pinpointing to cut outage frequency and duration.
  • Project receives partial funding from PG&E’s EPIC electric R&D program.
